Cal Poly at Eastern Washington
CHENEY, Wash. (Interstat) — Two teams looking to halt early-season slides will meet Monday when the Cal Poly Mustangs visit the Eastern Washington Eagles in a non-conference women’s basketball game.
Both teams enter Reese Court with identical 1-2 records. Cal Poly is coming off a narrow 75-73 road loss to Seattle on Saturday. In that game, Charish Thompson led the Mustangs with 29 points and seven rebounds, while Vanessa McManus added a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds.
Eastern Washington seeks to rebound from a 74-68 home loss to Southern Utah last Thursday. The Eagles were paced by Jaecy Eggers, who scored 21 points, and Elyn Bowers, who added 18.
The Mustangs’ season has been one of extremes, featuring an 87-27 rout of UC Santa Cruz and a 90-55 defeat at the hands of Stanford. Similarly, the Eagles opened with a 99-43 victory over Northwest before falling to Arizona State.
Monday’s contest represents the first of a two-game road trip for Cal Poly, which next hosts Southern Utah on Friday. Eastern Washington will travel to face in-state rival Gonzaga on Sunday.
